About Sam Van Houtenstraat 293, Amsterdam
The asking price of €525,000 is in line with the market for a terrace house of this size and age in Van Tijenbuurt. The 80 m² floor area and 83 m² plot are typical for the area, and the C energy label is average. Without specific neighbourhood price data, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced compared to similar listings.

The area is green, with a park just 300 metres away, and crime is low. It's a calm residential area, not a bustling city centre.
The nearest supermarket is Vomar, just 285 metres away, a short walk. Lidl and Albert Heijn are also within 400 metres, so daily shopping is very convenient. For a wider choice, there are over 50 supermarkets within 5 km.
The Goeman Borgesiusschool primary school is only 234 metres away, and the Oecumenische basisschool Timotheusschool is 557 metres. There are several other primary schools within a kilometre, and secondary schools are about 1.9 km away. The area is well-served for families with young children.
The nearest train station is 4.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (2681 per km²), indicating good bus and tram connections.
Energy label C is average for a house built in 1957. It means the home has some insulation but not the highest efficiency. Heating costs will be moderate, but not as low as a modern A-label home. You can expect reasonable energy bills without major surprises.
The plot size is 83 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. Given that it's a terrace house with a plot, it likely has a small front and/or back garden, but this is not confirmed in the data.
